xbox 360 controller installation

Jeepers $129.99 for the chicklet. We bought ours last year (2x) and they worked wonderfully until we invited 50 boyscouts who had the urge to "touch" the chickletsss. This was unfortunate due to static electricity fried the components. So if you decide to go this route, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommend that you create some sort of covering for the chicket that is removable in order to re program them. Here's a guide that one of our teammates used last year.

I'll post later a simple covering device with velcro that we used with polycarbonate. It did its job.

My team had a similar problem when the chicklet ran low on battery power except ours without even touching the controller shot off down the hall at full speed with us chasing it trying to shut it down.
